Chapter 269: The Turbulent Imperial Capital
In the evening.
The sun gradually sank in the west, taking away the hustle and bustle of the day and the tension of the imperial capital gendarmerie.
Since Crossbell declared independence and said that until other countries recognized the legitimacy of his independence, the assets flowing through all countries would be frozen, and the entire empire's industrial and financial industries have shown a great decline in an instant. Almost in less than a day, the originally prosperous and orderly imperial capital fell into chaos under such circumstances. Bankers and emerging asset owners can't afford to sit idly by and watch their large sums of assets evaporate into the air; The Empire's traditional large banks and manufacturing companies also sent official letters of representation to the Imperial Capital City Hall, putting pressure on them to impose sanctions on Crossbell.
In this regard, Chief Regniz made a swift response at the first time. First of all, he contacted the respected people from all walks of life and persuaded them to suppress the anger of his subordinates and not add more trouble to this already chaotic situation. Crossbell's move was as ridiculous as a mantis arm, and when the Imperial War Department reached the Garelian fortress on the orders of the Imperial Army, he would be able to break this boring illusion - hearing this, those people also quieted down for a while, but the situation did not get any better, which made people's hearts rekindle the dissatisfaction.
The stock market is paralyzed, production lines are suspended, and people who have nothing to do have lost their jobs and cannot get the little mira they depend on for their survival, and they will naturally be full of panic about their future lives. In this context, demonstrations were organized against the inaction of the Imperial Government and for further sanctions against Crossbell; In the face of such a huge public opinion, even Mayor Regniz could not use his authority to rush into it, but could only distract and send a large number of guards and gendarmes to impose martial law and security checks on the places where the marchers passed, so as to prevent them from causing any trouble. Mayor Regniz took this matter very seriously, and when he conveyed the instructions, he changed his usual gentle style and gave strict orders with a sharp reprimand, which made the executors under him realize the seriousness of the matter. Therefore, when the sun goes down and the marchers have had enough of making noise and are tired of it, and begin to disperse, it is time for the gendarmerie to catch their breath and complain about such days.
"At this time, it would be nice if the Ice Maiden was here. With her, we must have a lot easier. A gendarme rubbed his ankle, which had been blistered in the past two days, and said, "Although His Excellency the Chief is also very good, it is really better to be a professional soldier for this kind of thing." ”
"You...... Don't say anything like that. A man who looked like a captain said. It stands to reason that his subordinates are so rude, he should reprimand him out loud, but after all, there is a reason for the incident, and several soldiers under his command have been carrying out high-intensity law and order maintenance work for several days in a row, and there is no need to criticize him with a few complaints, "Your Excellency the Chief is already under a lot of pressure, and we can't make trouble for him anymore." And I think what we're going to do tomorrow is probably going to be even more ......."
The captain's appearance of wanting to speak aroused the curiosity of the team members, "What's the matter, captain, what do you say?" ”
"You'll find out soon." The captain said reluctantly, but he couldn't stand the soft grinding and hard bubbles of a few of his subordinates. He himself is also tickling in his heart, after all, this kind of thing can be said when talking about it, it can show that he has a lot of face, "Okay, then I'll tell you, it's actually ......"
"The parade is over, right? Thank you very much. At that moment, a deep male voice caught their attention—following the voice, it was a man with a serious face, short and simple hair, dressed in a gray military uniform, and behind him were two soldiers dressed similarly to him, "According to the plan, we will take over this place." ”
"Ah...... You are the ...... of the railway gendarmerie," the captain was immediately flattered, "have you returned to the imperial capital?" ”
"Hmm." The blond-haired man nodded, "Looks like I'm bothering you?" ”
"No, no...... It's time for us to go, you're busy. The captain hurriedly said, "Alright, it's time to go." The other gendarmes seemed to know how powerful this man was, and fled quickly, completely without the calmness of the conversation and laughter just now.
"Hmph...... Even people like them already know about it...... Looks like tomorrow is going to be a rough day. The blonde man had actually heard their conversation exactly how he had been—he was a good gunner, and he was one of the aces of the "Railway Gendarmerie", so he never lazy and let go of his instinct as a gunner. In fact, it was precisely because of the captain's words that he attracted his attention, otherwise he might not have looked at these people.
Michael Yaviku. The members of the Railway Gendarmerie were originally engaged in reconnaissance and intelligence work outside the imperial capital, but recently they were called back to help because of the excessive pressure on the imperial capital headquarters. Although he is far less famous than the "Ice Maiden" as a colleague, in terms of strength, especially in terms of the strength of the firearms as a soldier - those who know him well know that he is not much worse than the "Ice Maiden".
He's certainly not just wandering around the street – he's actually doing his old job, intelligence reconnaissance and counterintelligence. In fact, he had been on top of a burly man and a girl for a long time. Their movements are suspicious, and they are always moving around the Women's College and the Imperial Palace, as well as several avenues that make it easy to leave the imperial capital, and they will stay for a long time. Even, Michael also found that they would actually think of going to the high ground around the imperial capital and overlooking everything in the imperial capital from a high vantage point. It stands to reason that such a very strange operation should be regarded as suspected of espionage, if it was an ordinary person, he could directly show his identity and bring these two people back to ask for an explanation.
However, not now - he returned to the gendarmerie headquarters, used the intelligence of the intelligence bureau, and after careful comparison, he was surprised to find that the burly man turned out to be the former captain of the legendary Great Hunter Regiment "Zephyr Brigade", "Killing War Bear" Garcia Rossi. As for the girl beside him, the weapon she used seemed to be related to the church, which made him very puzzled. Therefore, considering that these two people may have a special mission, he did not rashly startle the snake, but chose to continue to wait and see until the time was right.
It's just that now the situation is special - the news from the front line of the Garelian fortress tells him that he can't wait any longer.
We must act tonight.
The humble inn they live in has long been locked down.
"Let's go." Michael said the word between his teeth, and the two guards beside him immediately understood.
